[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken at an amusement park in Ohio. I liked the idea of capturing her art with mine.

I see the shutter speed is listed as 1/30. That's a little difficult to believe, but I guess it is what it is. I would not have chosen this setting now, but I was lucky to know where the shutter button was in June. Not sure what I was trying to focus on or what I should have focused on. Any suggestions?

Not quite ready to post my next art collection. I'll finish it tonight.

I hope you have a nice Tuesday!

Hi Dennis.
Suggestions :
-IMO you cropped a bit too much.Especially left.
- The Frame is too thick to my taste.
-Changing a little the position towards left would have revealed more of the model's face. Otherwise nicely focused on him.I like this
-I can see that you have a Nikon D90, which is a sort of a "beast" get most out of it, and forget about the auto mode. Try for the beginning to use P mode, combined with the ISO adjustment. At this size of the image the ISO setting may not be extremely relevant, still at lower ISO there is less noise
- Take also the camera's user manual and read it thoroughly. After that you will have thousands of questions, but also creative ideas.

Keep going
Regards
Calin

Hi Dennis,

From an artistic viewpoint, this works pretty well. Shooting with a 1/30 shutter speed sometimes turns out OK because of the VR feature in the lens. I use the same principles of breath control used when firing a pistol, and it usually works for me. If you use NikonView software, you can see where the focus point is. It's a free download from Nikon.

I agree with Calin that a different POV/crop might work better. If you moved to the left and looked over the artist's shoulder you could get both the model and drawing in.

I don't think the ISO you used is a problem here, but the lower you can get away with, the better. And yes, get away from auto mode.

Werner
